Between 2 Butts: The Podcast That Lets Nothing Slip Between The Cracks

We live-streamed this episode back in January and saved it for our 25th episode release! Enjoy this bonus goodness!

Nominating this episode as the one with our most seamless transitions yet, as we all are talkin' reptiles. Becca counts the ways she loves the 1993 version of Jurassic Park, during which it comes out that Jay sides with T-Rexes over 'raptors. Tice goes over other dinosaur media that came out in the wake of Jurassic Park, including the mostly wacky  Dinosaurs sitcom, and its dark, dark fi...

As we open a controversial, yet already dated episode of Between Two Butts, Jay has found a questionable toy that somehow made it to the Target shelves, and we try to figure out if the makers even attempted to make it resemble anything other than what it actually looks like. Includes discussion of bleaching. From there, the next logical turn for the convo to take is discussing the January 6 siege...

The spirit of Yuletide is on its way out but the Spirit of Ah-nold has settled in! The holidays are winding down and the false construct that is 2021 is upon us, so the gang talks about putting away decorations, Garry Marshall's cheesy New Year's Eve movie, and safe and socially distant gift exchanges. Jay somehow gave everyone poop, which at this point should be unsurprising. Becca revi...

Becca's cat Echo's presence is felt heavily in this episode, which is how we get started with animals in general being salty or invasive. Jay tells us about the Netflix true crime series "The Staircase", and gets us all hooked on imitating prosecuting attorney Freda Black, with her genteel Southern manner and prurient inquiries. Becca has thoughts about Broadway singer Idina Me...

Lots going on as we open the pod. After Tice catches us everybody up on Hanukkah and Jay describes a socially-distant performance, Becca shocks when she reveals she doesn't like A Christmas Carol or A Christmas Story, and moreover, she GETS it! (She's very cool with White Christmas, though.) Jay keeps the emotions flowing when he sings the Grinch Song ("You're a Mean One...&quo...

As we open Episode 19, Becca brings us the neighborhood gossip, and Jay and Tice, in turn,  introduce her to the NextDoor app. Jay wants to make it known that he considers it a breach of messaging etiquette, not to mention a waste of his valuable time, to message him without a clear objective, and Tice and Becca, in turn, rag on him about it. We give attention to other scourges of online socializa...

Tice is back from his vasectomy (teased in last week's episode), and Jay and Becca are digging deep to find out what the surgery was like. And since he was awake for the entire procedure, Tice has answers; including what it's like to chat with the doctors while they were cutting his tubes, what he could see happening below his waist during the surgery, and facts he learned about his skin...

At long last, local theatre director and stage manager, and as often mentioned on the show, Jay's wife and B2B's creative consultant Melissa sits in for a full episode to read future children's classic "Brenda's Beaver Needs a Barber" for the rest of the gang. And it's really about a beaver! Really! Along with some glimpses at what makes the Melissa/Jay relations...

Our sweet 16th episode starts with vindictive cats, Tice not doing yoga, another Jay dream that includes everybody but Tice, and the question of how much to clean your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. And that´s only the intro!  In tribute to Alex Trebek, Tice decides to carry on with game-show-themed segments, thus establishing GameShowVember. We remember Alex Trebek, his many game s...

We are coming in strong just one day after the 2020 election is called for Biden (at the time of recording), and Becca begins our show by speaking about how glad she is to finally be rid of the caustic source of irritation she did not ask for...the piece of glass that just popped out of her hand after being stuck there for 20 years. It gives everyone a chance to share about injuries old and new. T...

Episode 14 sees Jay sharing his favorite thing on the Interwebs after ass-kicking nuns: a little something starring televangelist Kenneth Copeland and Covid-19. It also has Becca's yoga journey, including lots of helpful tips and encouraging words to newcomers. It even includes Tice sharing gym dos and donts. But an undercurrent throughout this show is Jay and Becca's own little version...

We’re back with lucky Episode 13! Unlucky number or not,  this is the perfect episode for us because Jay, Becca and Tice welcome fabulous DMV theatre actor and singer and one of their biggest fans, Stacy Crickmer!! After, Jay, Becca and Tice discuss the perils of using public bathrooms, Stacy tells us all about her time in the THEATAH, including being part of the original production of Moby Dick T...

    We have company again! Today we're graced with the presence of Kim Braswell, local actor and "Kitty-Paws" buddy to Becca (you'll have to listen to really understand that...). We begin the podcast talking about the genesis of their friendship and their memories of competitive karaoke, both of which involve a surprising amount of humping and dildoes! Then it's on to fret...

Halloween is creeping in on Between 2 Butts! Episode 11 begin with a review of Hocus Pocus from a first-time viewer and stories about Hocus Pocus cosplay. THis ends up as a discussion on the proper spelling of Bryan/Brian. Keeping on the costumes theme, Becca talks about gender-bent cosplay, including her own adventures dressing up as male characters. October also marks the 70th anniversary of &qu...

Wow, it's a landmark episode: Number 10! And as we cross into our double digits, we see Jay consider re-branding the podcast as a wrestling trio, complete with a hype-filled promo. Along the way, he shares why he loved professional wrestling and why he hates hearing people say it's fake. Meanwhile, Tice is already wrestling, but it's with his past, specifically his worst-ever childh...

In this week's show, we welcome as our guest improviser and comedian Carlic Huynh! We start by recapping the audition where Jay, Tice and Carlic met for the very first time, then go over some of Carlic's comedic influences. But we stray from the point on this show, and soon enough we're talking about chipmunk love, the many floors of the Museum of Sex, and the dreaded face-penis. Bu...

Zounds! It's a beautiful pumpkin spice morn and Tice is contemplating cow udders, but Jay brings distraction in the form of what may be called "Gutter-billy": a folk/metal track called "Y'all Motherfuckers Need Jesus" by the Goddamn Gallows, accompanied by a video of ass-kicking nuns. After Becca and Jay comment with their own experiences with nuns and the Catholic ch...

Tice debuts shiny new recording equipment, and he puts Jay and Becca through the Myers-Briggs and Kiersey personality sorters with a crispness never heard before. But soon enough, his fortune reverses and he becomes completely inaudible, leaving Jay and Becca to their own devices. His powers unchecked, Jay wastes no time in getting at the Catholic Church, laying out his thesis for how he would mak...

We have a guest butt!! It's our very own music man, Matthew Scarborough, composer of our theme song and all the incidental tunes here on the pod. He shares a bit with us about how he creates our intro music and the many variations we've asked him for, and then, together with Jay, gives us a sneak preview of their long-awaited collaboration -- Butthurt: The Musical!!!  Meanwhile, Becca de...

Come join our bubble! It's nice here when nobody's having a flare-up. Jay goes through a gamut of emotions this week as first we talk about some theatre pet peeves, and then we review an accordion-tastic episode of The Lawrence Welk Show (linked below), which deals Jay a crushing disappointment. But then, Becca tells the story of an incident with IBS, including a costly misdiagnosis, and...

Tice is recognized as the producer/editor of the show! Huzzah!! Tice can't keep Becca and Jay quiet long enough to get clean edits! Huzzoof!!  As Tice wrangles with what being "Between Two Butts" truly entails, we discuss vacations, Jay's dreams of train robberies with Becca, pee dreams, school dreams, THAT kind of dream, improv guns, daddies (THAT kind of daddy), daddies squar...

It's the Episode that Lived! (Episode 3.0 will sadly never be, as Tice went to hit record and missed.) After we take some time to recover, Becca talks about how she deals with dick pics in her DMs, Tice struggles to find meaning in the newspaper comic "Pluggers", and Jay remembers a performance that was described as "burning-ass-tastic". Then, as a finale, we play the clas...

It's a day of lists! Becca lists the 6 shows she's watching at the moment. Jay gives his Top Ten list of post-theatre-show comments from friends in the audience. Tice gets everybody to list their favorite sauces, among other topics. Also, Jay is wondering why Tice never gets mad. (It's because we haven't talked about Pluggers yet. Patience.) 

In our very first episode, Becca introduces us to her cat Echo and gives us the latest on Echo's bathroom drama, Jay tells us what about our personalities drives others to dislike us (based on our astrological sign) and Tice shares that he likes the '70s version of Match Game because the people on it were terrible, apparently. Finally, everyone plays a few rounds of Let's Make a Mat...
